I knew the Antonio attitude was just a ruse but I'm glad it was because it's tiring to have to put up with a character I don't like anyway in a storyline that I couldn't care about have the same bad attitude for no reason that he was given so many times by hack writers. Sure, it was predictable that he, John and Talia are working on getting rid of Ramsey but the fun is in how they eventually do it and how Ramsey holds on to power.

I'm sad so much screen time is being eaten up by Starr/Cole/Blair/Todd as well. I'm just not interested in another teenage pregnancy/runaway/vengeful Todd/woeful Blair story but I can't complain because there are some new elements to it all.

OH...MY...GOD!!!

Now THAT is what a soap opera is suppose to be! Simply FABULOUS!

Just too many things to comment on and many of you already expressed them so well. I am glad that I started watching this show because what I saw today was what I was missing on the other soaps I watched. :wub:

Today's script was just flawless. It is very strange how quickly the show has improved! At least Ron doesn't have to worry about being accused of scabbing, lol. I stopped watching, but after monday's show it's back on the DVR! The biggest suprise was how amazing Blair and Dorian were written. I haven't been pleased with Carlivati's Blair, but he got her right today. I hope this continues and that she has her own stories as opposed to being supporting to Todd. Also hope Dorian continues to get truly meaty material. Robin Strasser has been waiting ages and rocks whatever you give her.

Dorian/Langston's dialgoue today.

Dorian: ...... You should have never make such a reckless mistake.......You’re a Cramer now.

Langston: Is this how a Cramer is suppose to act? You know maybe I’m not a Cramer, not anymore.

D: You are my responsibility, Langston.

L: I’m not ready to talk about this. Can we just stop yelling, please.

D: It seems like the only way to get through to you two.

L: It’s too late for that, okay. I mean, is this how a Cramer suppose to handle a situation.

D: A Cramer is not suppose to get into a situation like this in the first place.

L: Please! I mean, I’ve only lived in this house for six months and even I know that Cramer’s are always getting in trouble and besides, I thought the whole point of being a Cramer is that you come running when another Cramer needs you. You have each other’s backs.

Marko: I’ve got her back, and I’m just a Rivera.

D: You’ve got a lot more than just her back and that is the problem.

L: Okay, no. The problem is what we’re going to do now. And the way you just came down on me, I completely understand why Starr ran away.

D: With your help!

L: Yes, with my help! Why should she stay here and get screamed at?

D: That was Todd.

L: Oh okay......Where was Mrs. Manning. You know where the F---- Where the hell was you? Starr needed help and her dad is psycho and you let him lock her up in your own house? But no, who cares about Starr when you have a wedding to plan.

D: I was out of town and I....I.....admit that I....I.....have been some what preoccupied lately.

L: So what......I can’t even get you on the phone.......half the time I don’t even know where you are.

M: It’s true. She’s always trying to find you.

D: You shut up!!!!

L: You know what, as far as I’m concerned Starr and I are the only real Cramer’s left. We take care of each other. Because right now, it seems that being a Cramer means putting up with maniacs like Mr. Manning and if that’s what being a Cramer means, then count me out.

--------------------

New act: Dorian knocks on the door and enters the room.

D: Excuse me.....I need to say something. I want to apologize. I know that my life has gotten very complicated lately......and you’re right. I didn’t intercede on Starr’s behalf and I shouldn’t be allowing Todd to live in this house. But most of all, I’m very sorry that you feel that I wasn’t here for you. And I want you to know, that I’m here now, and you can count on me.

------------------

D: You know if there’s one thing I’ve learned in life is that there is always a solution for any problem. We’re going to handle this situation.....together.

One of the best moments was during the montage, Dorian brushes Langston's hair aside and then puts her hand on Langston's chin, and Langston looks back at Dorian..... Damn, I love this relationship! It's one of the best in daytime right now. So freaking good!! :)

Fantastic stuff.... OLTL is defo the best soap on air right now. I got all teary eyed during the montage. I, too, loved Dorian's support of Langston... How Langston was shocked to realize the motherly love Dorian has for her, yet at the same time feels guilty for lying to her.... Wow. Just wow.

I actually didn't think Tomlin did as bad a job as I expected him to, but am glad to have Ron back (maybe now Addie will come out of the attic?) I missed the first 10 mins tho--they now are titling every episode? that seems, for a daily soap, kinda... dumb... But different I guess :P (Why was today's called Nana...)

Like that Natalie knows the truth about Charlie

Really enjoyed the Viki and Gigi scenes...Farah was really good in the scene, where Gigi said she felt like she wasn't alone in having those loving feelings. Also liked the Rex and Charlie scene

Jared in nothing but a sheet *fans self*

    • It's very smart, even if I don't love the choice of content creators. And it's hilarious Daphnée keeps doing lives on Instagram, when she's admitted she isn't the best of them.
    • Tomlin's first stint was from May 1983 to March 1984 (11 months) when he left to become co head of AW. He lasts about six months the second time. But he' paired with John Whitesell this time and the show was a wreck after Mayer/Braxton's 6 months.
    • I think it's wonderful that they have started to let the actors do more press with content creators.

    •   I agree. Colby did a nice job playing against TMG. They had some nice sparring/energy. I think they matched well against each other. CM/Kat looked very pretty today (and really as always) and I agree that Kat is a smart character and I appreciate that.  I am interested in seeing how he plays against Nicole/Leslie. I'm not sure what will end up happening there. Especially considering they are such strong female characters. Maybe he will have chemistry with one or both of them. I hope he has chemistry with at least a couple of people. I would have liked to have kept Maurice, but maybe things will somehow work out with Keith in the role. He really does love them especially Naomi. I think he genuinely believes in her ability as an attorney as well.  He doesn't even get mad when she questions/chastises him, because I think that he thinks that she is capable and smart. I think his love for his children, definitely provides some good depth/balance to his character.
    • Someone called Leslie "LADS" for all the names she has used LMAO 
    • @xtr I agree, Bill's love for his children levels out his character. There is something already lovable about him.
    • The new Ted comes off as older to me. His stature and appearance remind me of Vernon but without Vernon's charisma. He doesn't have the presence MJ had. Maybe KR will surprise us in the future but I'm not really invested in Ted as a character anymore. 
    • Moving closer to the summer, I hope one of the new sets we get is like a beach house with/ a pool or something outside.
    • I agree that Keith's version of Ted does come across as younger. I thought that Ted's conversation with Kat today was interesting. He painted a picture of Leslie that no one (including the audience) has seen before. Leslie behaving like he described why he was initially drawn to her, though of course it doesn't excuse him of hurting/cheating on Nicole. I did like Ted's honesty/vulnerability in his conversation with Kat. I also continue to like Bill's relationship with Naomi. I believe he does genuinely love her and vice versa. Like she stated today he doesn't make it easy for her to love him, but she does. I would like to see them team up one day and be on the same side with something. I think that it's interesting that June doesn't know who the pictures of the two children are. I think it might be an older picture of her and Hayley together as siblings, like some people up here have already suggested. I also wonder what Ted will get Eva for her birthday. And I liked Eva giving it a little to Leslie on today's show when she brought up that people may soon suspect Leslie regarding Laura's accident. Leslie tried to spin it more like it may have been Eva's doing to Kat, but I did like Eva standing her ground and telling Leslie she wouldn't allow herself to be used so that Leslie could get closer to Ted.
